Jewel Box by Caron

[Deb]

Has anyone used the Jewel Box yarn by Caron? My niece has been asking for a poncho (like I made for her little sisters). She was very specific in her color preferences <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/shrug.gif" />. She wants black... with lime green. Today I purchased 3 skeins of their *Obsidian*. It seems to fit the bill. I'm thinking it'll make a great poncho.

 

I'd love to hear if others have used it... and what they think. <img border=0 src="http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif" />

My jewel shawl is made with the purple caron jewel box yarn - I LOVE the yarn and I love the way it feels on my arms too. If you are going to do fringe around the poncho? I suggest putting knots at the end of each strand of the fringe or the yarn will split, since the yarn is 3 strands twisted together. Cant wait to see a picture when you're done

She does want a fringe... <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/cutewink.gif" /> so I'll be sure to take your advice regarding the knots. Thanks for the suggestion!
